Twelve light-years from Earth, Lieutenant Commander Valory Jeanne, is alone in the astrophysics lab when an unexpected meteor storm strikes the United Earth Space Force ship Copernicus. After just four orbits around a newly discovered planet in the Tau Ceti star system, the ship is destroyed. Now stranded onboard without any means of escaping to the planet below, the PhD astrophysicist must struggle against insurmountable odds to stay alive on a dead spaceship.

In the 23rd century, Earth's scientists finally unlock the secret of faster-than-light travel, and humankind begins journeying to the stars. Unfortunately, the travel comes with perilous risks. While exploring the galaxy and looking for habitable worlds for human colonization, the United Earth Space Force exploratory ship Copernicus is destroyed by an encounter with an unexpected meteor storm as it orbits a newly discovered planet 12 light years from Earth.
